Try this.

Boot up and at the log in screen press Ctrl-alt-del twice. This should bring up a different log on prompt.

Then type Administrator for the user name and leave the password blank.

This usually works as a back door admin account in XP. If this doesn't work, outside of 3rd party password cracking utilities, a reinstall of the OS is all you can do.
